Apex is the worst team game ever

It's simple to solo to Diamond. It's a simple point system. Shooting is the easiest skill for players. Next is getting carried by friends. Most players in Platinum and Diamond lack game sense. Majority of them are just running around randomly without a strategy. No idea why they are doing what. They all think they're Rambo and have to play like a top streamer to be good. That is incorrect . It's all ego.

1) Protect your points! Your Randoms most likely do not have any points to lose. They will throw out of desperation.

You need to leave them! Don't save them! Unless you're already positive points! Once you're positive points you can do anything you feel like doing.

2) Rotation! Placement! Play the long game! Be patient! Kills will come to you!

3) Carry a massive amount of healing. This is essential. You need an escape plan and  being outside the zone will be your best friend.

Diamond to masters is not a skill a check. It's a team check. The players in Diamond seem exactly like, Platinum clueless ego players.

The entire system needs a redesign. I've stopped playing multiple times because of the system.

Making friends is not a solution. Most of the humans you meet are low quality humans. Even the great players you come across, they're just not good people. They're undisciplined, ego driven tools.

While disappointing there have been some funny moments.  A Plat I Gibralter was throwing punches at me as I wouldn't move in the 1st and 2nd ring closing (we were in the ring, and it was a long drop so the place was fully looted and nobody was around, they were clearly going to come to us, no point in getting ourselves killed).  But when the rings got tight, the last 6 teams were all rolling in, and the real fighting started, it was intense, and awesome, and we were saving each other.  We got 2nd, which was fair because in the very last ring battle, it came down to which side got fried.  Valk on the enemy team pulled it out by flying. Valk is broke but don't let anyone tell you that cause we all love her so.

I don't know, and likely never will, about above Diamond.  But that's where I'm going just so I can say I did, and play there for a while.  I don't feel it's right to say it is simple, but I would say as a matter of perspective, if you can get there regularly, I'm sure everything lower looks easy from there.

I do really like the new season, and the changes.  It's more a matter of built into it's core, Apex does not support team play so much unless you are rolling with a full 3 person.  And I do think they tried, with all their non-mic ping system, but you know...at the end of the day, it's a gun reliant BR.  There were many places it was going to pancake.

My thoughts are and I know this will never happen but I wish Apex had a solo ranked game mode. I don't play enough to take the time to search for 2 other solid teammates who understand the game. The majority of people diamond and below with some exceptions often pick horrible fights, don't know how to position, and have mediocre aim.
